#Toby Kingston

[pochi2k]

Figured that I finally show off some of my (not so finished) 3D modeling work that I've been doing on Blender. I have so many irons in the fire in terms of 3d modeling, it's not even funny, anymore.

At some point in 1941 Winston Churchill discovered a painting by Vincent van Gogh that showed the Doctor’s TARDIS exploding ("Pandorica Opens", Doctor Who vlm 3, TV)

Still a great movie. I’ll start number three tomorrow.

POP SONG REVIEW: "Eenie Meenie" by Sean Kingston and Justin Bieber - Todd in the Shadows

[tsunderecat413]

here is a collection of miscellaneous audio that i never finished. maybe these ideas will be revisited someday. probably not. most were unfinished due to being saved in a demo version of fl studio, so i will instead mention why i likely won't revisit them.

1. "Beautiful Homestuck Medley": an unfinished cover of sean kingston's iconic "beautiful girls" in the "style" of various homestuck songs. or, in this case, three.

reason for being scrapped: it sucks

chances of being revisited: 3/10

2. "Battle! Cirno": an unfinished cover of tomboyish girl in love from embodiment of scarlet devil in the style of a battle theme from pokémon gen 5. i actually really like this idea, but i need more practice making pokémon styled arrangements.

reason for being scrapped: idk how to make a good pokémon battle theme

chances of being revisited: 6/10

3. "GBAtastic Voyage": a sequel to my previous "snestastic voyage" from sample pack contest xvi this was meant for sample pack contest xviii, but i couldn't figure out how to finish it beyond the intro before the deadline. how unfortunate. i do intend to make a full gbatastic voyage for spc one of these days, but it will not be based on this one obviously lol. this is also the only one that was unfinished for a reason that wasn't being created in the demo version of fl studio.

reason for being scrapped: ran out of time

chances of being revisited: 8/10 (concept), 2/10 (this specific version)

4. "Genesis Does Back": a ym2612 cover of toby fox's "megalo strike back." the intro really doesn't sound that bad. i think this has a lot of potential, honestly.

reason for being scrapped: "megalo strike back" is a bitch to transcribe

chances of being revisited: 7/10

5. "Hammahclobbah": a "bonetrousle" for king dedede. those of you who follow me on soundcloud might know of an abandoned undertale au i created called "kirby: the great underground offensive." this was meant to be for that, but at the time, i had no idea how to get the proteus soundfont that toby fox uses, so i used a crappy sample. i think in this version i actually swapped the sample for the actual soundfont. it's still horribly mistranscribed in the latter, unfinished half.

reason for being scrapped: it sucks and it's irrelevant

chances of being revisited: 2/10

6. "Icecap": an unfinished cover of "ice cap zone" from sonic 3. hey, remember when people thought "ice cap zone" was based on "smooth criminal" for some reason? that was really weird, they don't even sound similar or use similar chord progressions. i think people back in the olden days of the internet were just idiots ;P. anyway, this references that. otherwise, it kinda sucks after the intro.

reason for being scrapped: it also sucks

chances of being revisited: 1/10

7. "One-Winged Angel (Chrono Trigger Cover)": self-explanatory. on the subject of abandoned soundcloud projects, i was once working on an album of video game songs in various different soundfonts. i abandoned that project for... a plethora of reasons, including 1) agood number of the songs were from undertale, and 2) i would rather make actually good covers and mashups than transcribe random video game songs by ear with little to no regard for hardware limitations. anyway, this isn't a bad idea, per se, but it could use a bit of an overhaul.

reason for being scrapped: i don't feel like transcribing the entirety of one-winged angel with snes hardware limitations

chances of being revisited: 4/10

8. "The Final Prelude": a rather fitting end to this thread, not only because it is called "the final prelude," but also because it's the only one that's actually finished... i think. the thing is, i don't even remember why i made this, what it was for. my guess is that it was intended to be for a theoretical homestuck act 8 or something? maybe i could repurpose it for my pseudo friendfic series.

reason for being scrapped: it technically wasn't lol

chances of being revisited: 2/10

SPOILERS!

So I watched Douglas is Cancelled...

Boomer humour isn't for me 🤷🏾‍♀️ This isn't exclusively in DIC but the gen z activist trope relies on 'this person cares about social issues & uses the buzzwords point & laugh!!1' and that's just dry and reactionary to me. Basically gen z parody from actual gen z is just >> Ep 4 is the only time Claudia gets some interesting characterisation but it feels backhanded cus she's written as a hysterical illogical teen but now the other characters do too and *now* it's bad? I guess...

Tied to that there's a 'joke' about her saying a list of where gay people are executed is racist & this accusation makes her illogical but its established 1 ep prior Toby *is* racist bc he assumed the South Asian writer was the driver The punchline punches down. Tied onto the weird racism gags I think it bleeds into how the POC in the show have the important role of um... nothing? Morgan gets his screentime writing the joke, balancing racism he experiences as a MOC but how he can reinforce misogyny. But for the WOC? Its crickets.

For a so called feminist show *none* of the WOC play any big role apart from supporting Claudia, Madeline & Sheila in a way. Jenn gets the most w/ her recording but again it's for another character. Minus Bill, Moffat's got a track record of this so I'm not surprised icl 🤷🏾‍♀️This show has parallels to Dot and Bubble. If u know me that is *not* a compliment. It uses comedy & campness as a build up to the-real-issue.mp4 & I'm over this "technique" of "progressive writing" I'd rather focus on the victims/survivors over the people doing the coercion. Moffats aim was allegedly to pull in the right wingers, bait em & switch. Douglas is the MC until its actually Madeline. It just highlights the problem of marginalised stories that decentre marginalised ppl. It relies on the viewer empathising w/ misogyny... from a man's POV...

I wanna like Madeline's plan more but its the set up that stops me from doing so, bc the show insists it needs Douglas as the focus b4 we can care about her. 'Madeline is Struggling' about women's come up in TV wouldn't have slapped for Brexit twitter so instead it's this 🥴

Hope Moffat has a lil self awareness. Is he aware any woman who spoke on the misogyny of his writing was treated as hysterical & illogical as Madeline was? The SA jokes he wrote reinforced the same sexual entitlement of Toby?His stans call him feminist for the bare minimum like the men in Douglas do? That Toby proves being an 'omni bigot' is possible? That unlike Douglas his ism/phobe allegations haven't stopped his bag but ppl that are women/queer/of colour struggle in his same industry? Is he?

The response to this show has what what call The Giggle syndrome (not a compliment). The show/stans demonises its audience. If u critiqued The Giggle dw stans said u had The Giggle. Douglas stans think any critical reaction of the show is cancellation. It gasses itself up.It's a self cleaning cycle. Like Madeline's tweet ironically. Douglas is Cancelled is feminist until it doesn't need to be anymore. Its 'a powerful Me Too commentary' AND just a silly lil show stop cancelling everything haha. Moffat can be progressive until it's hometime.

I'll say something nice: Karen Gillan and Alex Kingston ate down. Nice to see them in non doccy who media. I kinda wished Sheila got less shouty dialogue cus it felt a bit much at times but either way they carried the performances! Lovely gowns beautiful gowns!

Tl:Dr Douglas is Cancelled is *Sheila voice* OK. Its not bad. But it's not groundbreaking either. But it *really* wants to be.

If u want a drama show on themes like Me Too, SA and coercion that's written by women then Clique, I May Destroy You and Mood are right there.

[computersucker]

ye old yapperrrrrr aka 3 seconds away from walking the plank

my pirate oc and my larp persona have kind of evolved into characters with backstories and personalities its so embarrassing. anyways this is Captain Kingston. ........and Toby. 😐🏴‍☠️🌴⚓️🦜

Rich white men, beware – Twitter is coming to get you!

Topics of conversation include cancel culture, ‘73 Yards’, disgraced celebrities, Eamonn Holmes, Donald Trump’s obsession with Kristen Stewart, “Old Man Yells at Cloud”, Jeremy Hunt, the definition of ‘woke’, and Steven Moffat’s writing career, from PRESS GANG to JEKYLL; SHERLOCK to DOCTOR WHO; COUPLING to THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE.

Tobi Amusan qualifies for 100m hurdles semis in 2024 Olympics

World champion Tobi Amusan qualified for the 100-meter hurdles semi-finals in the ongoing 2024 Olympics in Paris on Wednesday.Amusan led the pack of eight athletes with 12.49 seconds, followed by America’s Alaysha Johnson with 12.61 and Jamaica’s Janeek Brown qualified with 12.84 seconds. Amusan is certainly among the favourites for the gold medal, but that won’t come easy, contending with a strong field that includes the Bahamas’ Devynne Charlton, USA’s Alaysha Johnson, world champion Danielle Williams and reigning Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn of Puerto Rico. The semi-finals will hold on Friday, August 9, while the final is slated for the penultimate day of the athletics event, Saturday, August 10. The 27-year-old has been in great form in the run-up to the sports fiesta, running a season’s best and then world lead of 12.40s (0.9) at the Jamaican Athletics Invitational in Kingston in May. Before then, she had set the indoor record for the African 60m hurdles twice in January and February.In March, she won her third consecutive African Games title in Ghana, plus anchoring the women’s 4x100m to gold in Accra as well as the African Championships in Cameroon three months later. Read the full article

[pochi2k]

Also, Imma just gonna plug in some posts from Twitter of Toby, a new character that I made 2 months ago.

[paintingwithphotons]

Now and Then

At the other end of Bicentennial Park in Nashville is the Tennessee State Capitol. I can only imagine what it looked like when it was finished in 1859, but now it’s surrounded by the Jetsons.

Toby didn’t think it was a Capitol building - ‘don’t they all have domes? I thought it was a law or something?’

I had to agree that it did seem to be a bit unusual, but Google explained that it was modeled after a Greek Ionic temple and that the Greeks were more about columns than domes. Google tried to continue on about how the capitol was rotating between Knoxville, Nashville, Kingston and Murfreesboro until 1843 but Toby shouted out, ‘OK, Boomer!’ and Google shut up flabbergasted.

I asked him what that was all about and he said that he saw it on DoggyFaceBook as the epitome of a no-comeback, shut-down. I told him that wasn’t a very nice thing to say and as a 12 year old Golden Retriever, he was pretty much in the heart of the Baby Boom generation age. Then he said that in a year or two he’d be part of the Greatest Generation! That shut me up too…

Silesia: el retorno de Alison y otra participación de Yulimar y Thiago Braz

Fuente: World Athletics Los duelos de velocidad y un programa repleto con los poseedores de récords mundiales Mondo Duplantis, Yulimar Rojas, Ryan Crouser, Tobi Amusan y Jakob Ingebrigtsen se ofrecen en el Kamila Skolimowska Memorial, el domingo 16 de julio en Silesia, Polonia. Los choques de calidad abundan en el octavo encuentro de la Wanda Diamond League de esta temporada en Polonia, donde los atletas estarán ansiosos por dejar su marca cuando falta poco más de un mes para el Campeonato Mundial de Atletismo Budapest 23. Sin duda, ese será el caso en los 100 metros femeninos, ya que las dos mujeres más rápidas del mundo en lo que va de temporada, Shericka Jackson y Sha'Carri Richardson, se enfrentarán por segunda vez este año en lo que será el sexto encuentro de 100 metros de su carrera. -cabeza. Jackson lidera la lista principal de esta temporada gracias a 10.65 que registró cuando ganó en el Campeonato de Jamaica en Kingston hace una semana. Esa marca la llevó a igualar el quinto lugar en la lista mundial de todos los tiempos, un lugar por delante de Richardson, quien mejoró a 10.71 en las eliminatorias en el Campeonato de EE. UU. y ganó el título nacional en 10.82. Richardson ganó la batalla la última vez que los dos atletas se enfrentaron, corriendo 10.76 contra los 10.85 de Jackson en la Liga Diamante de Doha en mayo, pero Jackson lidera 3-2 en lo que respecta al récord de cabeza a cabeza de su carrera. A ellas se unirán otros cuatro atletas que han bajado de los 11 segundos en lo que va de la temporada: Anthonique Strachan de Bahamas, Zoe Hobbs, poseedora del récord de Oceanía de Nueva Zelanda, Daryll Neita de Gran Bretaña y Shashalee Forbes de Jamaica, que fue segunda detrás de Jackson en los campeonatos nacionales. , así como la estrella local Ewa Swoboda. Fred Kerley, el campeón mundial de los 100 metros, se concentró en los 200 metros en el Campeonato de EE. UU. y tuvo que conformarse con el cuarto lugar en esa final, pero buscará recuperarse en el evento más corto en Silesia, ya que se enfrentará al recién coronado campeón estadounidense Cravont Charleston. Hay un duelo intrigante en los 400 metros llanos masculinos, ya que el campeón mundial de 400 m con vallas de Brasil, Alison Brendom Alves dos Santos, corre por primera vez desde septiembre tras lesionarse y se alinea junto al poseedor del récord mundial de Sudáfrica, Wayde van Niekerk, y el líder mundial de Zambia, Muzala Samukonga, quien corrió 43.91 en Gaborone en abril. Para Alison es su primera competencia desde que tuviera que pasar por una artroscropia -por lesión- en febrero pasado y anticipa su retorno a los 400 vallas que se producirá la semana próxima en Montecarlo. La medallista de plata mundial y olímpica de República Dominicana, Marileidy Paulino, segunda en la lista de los mejores de esta temporada con 48.98, lidera las inscripciones en los 400 metros femeninos. Un choque emocionante está en juego en los 100 metros con vallas femeninos. La campeona mundial de 2019, Nia Ali, ganó el título de EE. UU. por delante de Kendra Harrison, Masai Russell, Alaysha Johnson y Tia Jones en Eugene, y cuatro de esos cinco (Ali, Harrison, Johnson y Jones) se reencuentran en Silesia, donde se enfrentan al mundial de Nigeria. la poseedora del récord y campeona mundial Amusan y la medallista olímpica de bronce de Jamaica Megan Tapper, ganadora del título jamaicano el pasado fin de semana. Un cierto nivel de expectativa sigue a atletas como Ryan Crouser, Armand Duplantis y Yulimar Rojas cada vez que compiten, dadas las notables hazañas récord mundiales que ya han logrado, y el trío volverá a ser el centro de atención en Silesia. Crouser mejoró su récord mundial de lanzamiento de peso a 23,56 m en Los Ángeles y más recientemente ganó el título de EE. UU. con un lanzamiento de 22,86 m. Los tres medallistas del Campeonato Mundial de 2022 están en acción, con sus compatriotas estadounidenses Joe Kovacs y Josh Awotunde buscando aprovechar los mejores de sus respectivas temporadas de 22,69 m y 22,10 m, mientras que el neozelandés Tom Walsh, tercero en la lista de los mejores de esta temporada detrás de Crouser. Y Kovacs con 22,22 m, agrega más fuerza al field de participantes. Los dos primeros del Campeonato Mundial del año pasado también chocan en el salto con garrocha masculino, pero si las actuaciones van a la par, entonces Duplantis liderará el camino. El sueco de 23 años logró el récord mundial de 6,22 m en Clermont-Ferrand en febrero y estableció su liderazgo mundial de 6,12 m en Ostrava. Chris Nilsen de EE. UU. tiene su mejor marca este año de 5,92 m y recientemente ganó el título de EE. UU., pero el atleta más cercano a Duplantis en lo que va de temporada es el compatriota de Nilsen, KC Lightfoot, quien estableció un récord de área de 6,07 m en junio pero terminó cuarto en EE.
